Chimney repointing refers to the mortar which holds the chimney’s bricks together. If the mortar is crumbling or you spot gaps here and there, you really should consider getting it repointed to keep the brickwork securely in place. It’s not easy to spot issues with your roof or chimney, but if you think something might be wrong, don’t take the chance of leaving it.
Our roofing company specialises in chimney repairs and repointing, as well as roofing leadwork and lead flashing around chimneys. We advocate for these services for the following reasons:
Like your roof, the chimney and leadwork are exposed to all weather conditions and must withstand them. Driving rain, ice, and snow can wear down lead flashing and the mortar between bricks, causing it to crumble and flake away. But don’t worry; this doesn’t happen overnight. After construction, the mortar joints should last up to 25 years. For new home buyers, that’s ideal. For clients living in older properties, it may be worth checking the roof and chimney's current condition, or having our team inspect them.
Repointing could also save you money in the long run. Having our roofing company repoint your chimney now will prevent structural damage. If a chimney collapses, it could fall onto the roofing structure, damaging it and the areas beneath. Such an event could cause severe injuries or worse. Parts of the chimney could also fall onto the ground below, putting family or members of the general public in harm's way.
A freshly repointed chimney will also prevent water ingress. Any leaks or dampness will lead to internal mould buildup and rotting timbers – another issue which can affect the structural integrity of your home or commercial property. So, small repairs will certainly be worth it.
